For Cap And Country

For Cap and Country and its publication is about the importance of generosity, sportsmanship, perseverance and community to help us achieve our goals in life as much as in sport.

Australian Test players, past and present, open up about the road from their backyards to the baggy green.

Breathe in the mowed grass and linseed oil as they take their first steps to glory. Share with them the euphoria of their cap presentations. Immerse yourself in the wonder of Test triumphs and the despair of being dropped form the team. In sharing the players' stories - and disclosing how treasured Australian caps are kept under lock and key, in dank cupboards and stuffed in undies drawers - Jesse Hogan takes you inside their lounge rooms as well as cricket's dressing rooms.

Their stories contain salutary lessons for the game's future. As such, this is a conversation about Australian cricket as much as it is a chat with its best players. And at its heart is the unifying force of the cap, under which all players are equals, no matter if they've played 168 Tests like Steve Waugh, or one like Bryce McGain

Just two weeks before the first draft was completed, tragedy struck. At the age of 33, sports journalist Jesse Hogan suffered a devastating stroke that left him unable to speak, write or even walk. Following intensive rehabilitation and with immense support, Jesse made it back and finished the book with the help of fellow journalist Andrew Faulkner.

New Rotary Program: End Hepatitis Now

Did you know that viral hepatitis affects almost half a million Australians and that, in Victoria, about 6 people die every week of hepatitis related causes - more than the State’s road toll?

Hepatitis Victoria and Rotary Melbourne have joined to achieve the World Health Organisation’s goal of eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030.

With a cure now available for hepatitis C and a vaccination for hepatitis B, this global goal is achievable if community awareness can be raised.

A Hepatitis Victoria educator and a lived experience public speaker will present at the meeting on Tuesday 25 February to raise awareness, address the problem of stigma and discrimination in the community and encourage people to seek testing and treatment.

A Peace Builder Club

UnstoppaBULL, World Record Holder, Explorer, Adventurer

Mar 17, 2020

'After surviving a day in the Death Zone, adventurer and explorer Dan Bull completed an unguided ascent of Mt Everest in his 20s. He has since made numerous first ascents up unclimbed peaks in uncharted locations such as northern Greenland, and has successfully tackled some of the world's most dangerous mountains. Among them, the infamous North Face of the Eiger, a vertical mile of brittle rock and ice in the Swiss Alps, nicknamed Mordwand in German, literally, 'Murder Wall'.

Dan now plans to take record-breaking to new heights, literally, as he attempts to make history, again, with his latest record-breaking attempt: The Highest Swim. Dan will continue to push his mind and body to the limits as he battles against a chilling assault on the senses and endeavours to swim in the highest lake on Earth and become the first person to swim above an altitude of 6,000m / 20,000 ft.

Nicknamed Unstoppabull by his sisters, Dan has an unrelenting desire to push limits and test the boundaries of what is possible. He has been awarded multiple Guinness World Records for his achievements, all accomplished whilst overcoming a debilitating childhood condition to demonstrate firsthand that Anything is Possibull'.

Film Makers, The Story Of The Road

Apr 28, 2020

Melbourne based Jacqueline and Claire's production company, Clothesline Content produced the documentary, The Story of The Road, and created all the content for the I Am 100 festival; celebrating 100 hundred years since construction began on the iconic, Great Ocean Road.

They’ve created content for the biggest shows on Australian TV and are now creating video content online.

It has been more than 100 years since construction began on the Great Ocean Road. It was built of WW1 veterans (the original ANZACS). The road is not only one of the most travelled tourist destinations but it has also been called the greatest, longest war memorial in the world.

We are fortunate to be hearing from film makers Jacquiline Tonks & Clare Falkiner about the making of their documentary The Storey of the Road which reveals some of the stories behind the war heroes who came back home from WW1 to build a remarkable legacy. A most appropriate topic being just after ANZAC Day.
